Thank you Elli for sharing your extensive knowledge with us. It's much appreciated.
"The hieroglyph of our life on the Canvass" I really really like that. I'm an abstractionists, but would love to attend your school to learn Portrait painting. You all rock!
For me Elli is the Mel Robbins of artists she always motivates me and inspires me , thank you Elli for your energy and generosity 🙏💕💕💕
Love this!! Yes Elli is one of a kind and much needed in the community!
I just found you this week. WOW! You have already changed my world. I got sick lost my job and enrolled in art therapy to try to heal myself. My trouble is I am blind in one eye from my health issue with allergic asthma which means I can only use gouache. I want to paint expressively like I used to when I could use acrylics ! But I will do what I can. But I am grateful for you sharing your wisdom so freely and generously. I want to do this too one day! ❤
i found your chanel by chance im a 58yr ols autistic lady who has just recently found out i love to paint i never thought i was any good until a support worker saw a scetch i did and asked me to paint something and she was amazed i still dont think im that good but i love to paint i paint mainly when im stressed bcs it calms me so just wanted to say thank you for your videos because theres no heavy background music and you speak very well
sorry about spelling mistakes i tend to type to fast ......sketch lol
This is probably one of your/the best explanations for painting portraits with expressive strokes (and how to get them using the appropriate brushes) that I have seen in a while. I would love to see more portrait tutorials if you can! Take care.
One of my favorite videos you've done. Very hands-on and practical, without any mention of religion or superstitious thinking
Hey Elli! Thanks for sharing this video 🙂 I was wondering how you 'make' your source material. Is that a secretive process or is it something you would be willing to share with us? I'm quite curious!
After using murpy oil to clean the brushes-you can sometimes reshape synthetic brushes by dipping them into boiling water, then reshaping them with your fingers and a little gum arabic. Doesn't always work, but it will completely restore some brushes.
I sure needed this, thank you so much. I'm grateful for the Milan's, all of you.
Wonderful workshop! So inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. 🎨🖌💖
I love love the way you Express your style on canvas, and how you teach, makes me laugh when you tell us the no one's, thanks Elli, Blessings
Thank you, Elli, I am so thankful for you and all your family. This free workshop is perfect for me at this time. I am watching this video twice, to soak in the knowledge on how to use the proper brushes. You are truly the best person to learn from.
Thank you so much for bringing us these amazing free videos!!! I love watching them and learn from you! Have a nice day ❤
Intensly engaging, wonderful clarity, beautifully articulate about process and reasoning. So interesting, relatable and enlightening - Thank you so much Elli.
I went to a Monet art exhibit. When you stand back from his paintings it's gorgeous, then up close you see all his brush stokes. He is a master painter!
Thank you. You are clear, precise, and generous. I am learning, gratefully.
Such great training! I had no idea could do so much with different brushes. Thanks
Excellent! Merci Elli! So generous! I have just started the Milan art programme and it helps! It gives me direction to finish my first portrait ever! Merci with all my heart from France!
Thanks for sharing Jake, you seem like a very genuine person which is the best of all kinds!
This was super, thank you. Also you can reshape a brush with a piece of cardboard cut to size with a clip put on the tip, to hold the cardboard tight and still. Leave on over night. (If that makes any sense… ) and the fan brush is great for clouds 😉
Fan brushes are for “happy trees” lol when you have watched too many Bob Ross videos lol thank you for all your videos! Love your knowledge!
Thank you for all the fantastic tips Elli!
You are a good person. Thank YOU!
Thank you Elli, this was a wonderful and in depth explanation of all the beautiful tools 😍✨
Brilliant-lov the don’t dos
Thank you so much for this. It is exactly the info and advice I need right now to step up my skills. I have been mostly a one or two brusher who blends everything……will definitely broaden my brush use to ten or twelve, and stop blending (get out of my comfort zone). Excellent video. Again, thank you. 😊
I needed that encouragement - thank you!
That was brilliant and so helpful! Thank you!
This video is everything 🙏
You can clean the brushes with acetone and it removes dried paint off your brushes,
I am a recovering stab and dabber lol can’t wait to start the program!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are good.
Thank you for these powerful words and ideas☀️
Thank you Elli my teacher! Loving watching this while working on my first mixed media with collage in the Mastery Program. I enjoy the program and your family and the contest show all so much. Having a wonderful time and learning a tremendous amount. You guys are setting us up for success. Thank you so much!!
I'm also in the Mastery Program and just started media with collage! :)
Awesome! Hope you are loving it too!@@MyJuliebean
An excellent video. Thankyou, I have learned a lot from this. What a beautiful painting you have created.
Amazing tips! So simple and memorable Thank You!
Thank you! This was so informative!
Fan brush can be used to make grassy areas, whole fields of them
This lesson was excellent.
Elli you painted this man but eyes and lips Look Like you 😊😊
Very interesting Video . One of your best !!
Thank you for all the tips.. luv India
this is so inspiring, thank you so much ❤
Thank you ❤
Thank you!
Hi miss you all. Love watching you here ❤
Amazing! Thank you, learned a lot.....I think if I would listened to your instructions 5/6 years ago when I just started painting, I probably would not understand everything, but, now it makes total sense....Would you please tell me which canvas sizes you think the best for portrait painting?
Really really enjoyed this video
Where do I get those brushes I love those 😊😊❤❤
Try just two hours for the brush bath instead of two weeks- I don't think they need that long, and it might save the shape of some of them :)
I love your work, and Your videos are amazing and I value what I learn from you, but My word that is a lot colors in that pallette
My mom painted oil & much more (not acrylic, so I don’t know how to remove acrylic, sorry)
But her focus was painting painting painting not cleaning brushes.
I inherited all her rock hard brushes
And oil/turps pots, l learned since that apple cider vinegar soak for 24 hours works amazingly!!!! Things I thought were doomed for the toss, are alive again. It really works!!!!
I love daggers!
Where do you get the photos from with flowers in them
It will help very much if you can show the reference photo while painting...
Do you have videos on how to make the source?
i love acrylics but am so scared to try oils, im sensitive to smells as have fybromyalgia
Elli it would really help if when showing, say a brush you had a contrasting background so it was easily visable.- also I WOULD prefer to hear you say a 2” brush or a number (? Size), rather than ,”this size”
Do you have a PO BOX I could snail mail write you? Thanks
17:00 For a cheaper method to Bring your brushes back to a soft state, soak them in Vinegar for a couple days.
Murphy's soap? Is that the same as Murphy's oil soap? The image went too fast for me to catch it. I loved this lesson
yes, it is
How do you get your sorce?
💛💚💙
🎉🎉🎉🎉
How can I join you?
Please have your camera on the task while you’re painting. They keep panning out and we miss your examples.
YES! We need the camera on the painting, zoomed in
Can you show more of your references photos please
The problem that I have with it is that I am not good at measurements and symmetry
It depends on the style of the artist.
let that dryyyyyy, these are oils though?
What if I don’t want my brushstrokes to show if I want to look more realistic??
Start with large brushes and finish small xx
Start with large brush and smoothy smoothy, blend , blend and blend towards the shape that you want to plant.
Less brushstrokes doesn’t always create more realism. Everything in nature and reality is not blended.
I'm that kind of blend -er painter 😂 I'm trying to quit that
Same!
pork hair school brushes are ok ?
Blendy blendy smoothy smoothy and stab and dab should be song lyrics.
Bob Ross would cry without blendy blendy smoothy smoothy ...
I don't like it
